Atmospheric Photochemical Modeling of Turbine Engine Fuels and Exhausts. Phase 2. Computer Model Development. Volume 1

Abstract

A computer model capable of predicting photochemical reactivity of turbine engine fuel emissions and exhaust emissions from routine AF operations is developed. This Phase II report describes experimental work on engine exhaust components conducted in environmental chamber facilities. The results indicate that engine exhaust is significantly more reactive than the fuels themselves. The reaction mechanism incorporates new methods for 'lumping' of complex reactive organic gas (ROG) mixtures when representing them in model simulations. This technical report is divided into two volumes. Volume I explains the computer model development, while Volume II is the User's Manual. Keywords: Ozone formation, Atmospheric reactivity, Environmental chambers, Alkanes, Alkenes, Photochemical models, Acrolein.
